So on my way to work today some woman pulled out infront of me( Dont worry i avoided her) as i was making a left turn from the middle of the street and she was coming from the side street. What the **** why are people so ignorant ever heard of right away . To add insult to injury there was a cop right behind me continuing forward on the street i waved, revved did everything to get his attention while pointing at the car blatantly breaking the law, no dice ****er must be to busy with his coffee. Riding a bike is supposed to take away my stress not make me want to go homocidal on *****es WTF And to think i got a seatbelt ticket for only wearing the bottom half of a seatbelt in my friends cage . Just goes to show how self involved people are these days, we all know they see us they just dont register a bike as a threat to their continued movement. I need a gopro really bad , Im gonna keep it running 24/7 anyone have luck with reporting terrible cagers to the police when you have video evidence? /Rant .... Die Cagers I'm gonna have a heart attack before the age of 23 if i dont get away from people, montana here i come

I rode in to work this morning. Anyone else still riding? Warm weather dudes, you don't count.

Yep , people who stop riding when its cold have vaginas. Im on knobbies and i ride my bike daily no matter what. Even went for a ride yesterday while it was raining hard for fun. Not gonna lie though i ate it in a parking lot at like 10 mph lol

Its your own attitude that dictates weather or not you get stressed out. I have been riding for a long time and peoples mistakes rarely bother me for this exact reason. If I spent half as much time getting pissed off and angry at every mistake I see people make I would have had a brain aneurysm by now. I do my best to just let it go.

I pass people and filter when I commute on my bike. So not only is it more fun, but I arrive at work quicker. One of these days I'm going to get caught, and I'm fine with that. But until that day comes, there is no ****ing chance I'm going to wait 4 cycles at one light when I take up 1/8th the space as a car. Let all the other 9 passenger SUV's with a single driver wait for that BS.

Trust me im trying to adopt that mentality , but dammit when theres a cop right there to see it and they don't do **** it makes me want to stomp on babies

I'm much less agressive on my street bike in the rain. The dirt bike I take to the limit and consequences are much less. When I've lost rear grip in the rain I knew what to do in terms of throttle and body position.

edit: I now realize I should have said, I don't ride MUCH in the rain.

Knocking on people's windows will most likely get you in some ****. Also trying to read and comprehend your posts gives me a ****ing headache.
